Existence is secondary to word. It is a word-definition. All definition is word definition. No definition, physical or otherwise is not word definition. The concept is secondary to word. It is what it is because it is word. Therefore ontology is secondary to myth as epistemology is secondary to mythology. The point that everything is a point, is derivative to the point that the symbol is a pure point-variable of definition (word-definition, and meaning only as utterly autonomous virtual reality myth and mythology). Word is not subject to use and not reference or referent of anything else, but is the point to any order or meaning, reality itself.

Cooperation and Collaboration

Genuine Collaboration vs. Voluntary Compliance

Within the virtual reality word-meaning struction, the concept of cooperation and collaboration takes on a unique significance. Genuine cooperation (rather than voluntary compliance) flourishes from the imag(in)ery as categorical sets of collaboratively crafted narrative, a shared myth of virtual reality, an as-if participants actively create and sustain it. This narrative form of collaboration by comparative advantage is robust and authentic, as it emerges in real stories of mutual engagement and shared creation of meaning. Trade is what trade is in comparative economic advantage, i.e., where country A produces product A more efficiently than country B, and country B produces product B more efficiently and when they trade, they both have a greater variety of products for less than they would have had if they tried to produce it themselves. Comparative advantage is the word-definition of trade. Trade is comparative advantage.

Rejection of Pluralism as Compliance

However, this notion of cooperation should not be confused with voluntary compliance, especially compliance that enforces pluralistic ideals under threat of cancellation. True collaboration is not about adhering to external mandates or principles imposed from above, but about the virtually collective (multiplicity as word-definition or point) or common stories of definition generation, i.e., as meaning and understanding. It is about incremental storytelling together of virtually building shared realities.
